    Do you have any Humans in your Transformers world? and what toy do you use for them?

    I have.....

    Spike Witwicky - Headmaster from my KO Deluxe sized Fort Max
    Daniel Witwicky - Headmaster from Hosehead
    Sparkplug Witwicky - the headmaster from Energon Fort Max
    Hi-Q - PM Prime Hi-Q
    Energon Kicker - an extra poor condition Hi-Q that I painted his helmet

    and coming in the mail, Prime Silas - a Mastershooter Fracas

    I'm thinking of getting custom figures for the Denny and Russel Clay. Along with Spike and Sparkplug from G1, are the only human companions I can stand in Transformers.

    They do in the comics. And in the bible of TF's I call the G1 US cartoon, in season 3 they had a episode called "Almost Human". They imply that Transformers came like 10 years after GI JOE bc Cobra Commander was retired & changed his alias to "Snake" the underground freelance terrorist. Also whatever they are doing in the crossover series in the comics I haven't read bc I like both the TF & GI JOE 80's cartoon & they look nothing like them. Also since Bayformers 4 movie was critically & review annihilated. It would surely bomb the next time they try with that same formulaic cheesyness. They need to reboot with a GI JOE vs TRANSFORMERS crossover movieverse with the robots looking & being G1, having it set in the 1980's would be perfect.

    I only have the MP10 Spike driving Roller around in my MP Autobot display. Otherwise, I don't bother with any steenkin' humans.

    I love having some humans around in my displays. However you play it humans are a big part of Transformers in any continuity.

    I have a SCF Exo suit and 3rd party Exosuit in my Display, as well as SCF Minerva and young Spike. 3D printed movie Spike, Carly and Daniel. 3D printed Slizardo and Primacron (not humans).

    The three kids from transformers Prime as well as Silas and those bad guys. Even the one inside Breakdown.

    3rd party Sari, Prof. Sumdac and Inspector Fanzone from Transformers Animated

    Ai from Car Robots from the collectors set.

    the Microman Kicker from Superlink

    And I repainted a Stickfas into Sam Witwicky for my movie toys.

    Come to think of it, I'd really like someone to model more human characters or even alien characters.

    If the X-Men can do it with the upcoming Apocalypse film, so can TF. The 80's are in again...to an extent anyways.

    I hid this hideous thing in the cockpit of the trailer drone thingy. MP Bumblebee's addition is in pseudo alt mode in my display. The two that came with UM are sitting on MP-9 in alt mode. If I wasn't ocd about keeping figures complete I'd throw em in a wood chipper or try to sell them. Whichever is easier.

    I once had the Justice League kicking the Decepticons' tailpipes. And the Avengers battling the Prime Decepticons. Does that count?

    I don't worry about human characters too much. I got several of the HA figures, and would love to have G1 Human Alliance toys, but I'm not overly concerned about it.

    I find the Megabloks Call of Duty figures are not too far off from essentially being GI Joe's that are scaled for MP Transformers. They can make for a compelling, if rather Michael Bay'ish display.

    For all my Human Alliance figures, the bots are holding their human partners like they're taking a hunting/fishing trophy photo. My kids think it's a little freaky but I tell them it's just one of Daddy's dark humor gags, and that those transformers are descendants of The Terminator.

    Seriously? Even in the toy threads, people react to humans like they're all baby killing crack smoking puppy raping tag switchers. Like holy shit, relax. You guys ARE humans, no need to harbor this much hate towards your own species.

    As for humans, usually I use the HA guys, since they're in scale. Joyride made some 2 inch Halo toys, but unless you want Master Chief fighting with Transformers it's useless. Hasbro's 2.5 inch Marvel Movie toys they've been making are pretty good stand ins, too.

    I love throwing humans in with Transformers! In my movie display, I of course have the human alliance figures for the main characters. Then I have Mega Bloks Call of Duty figures for NEST and Cemetery Wind Soldiers.
